ABOUT US
Formshift was built to remove the friction from commercial furniture projects.
Founder Rich Smith and Co-Founder Evan Manley started Formshift after realizing the industry was missing something important: a simpler way for clients to form new spaces or shift their current ones without dealing with too many vendors, too much confusion, and pricing that felt out of step with value.
RICH SMITH
FOUNDER • CEO
Rich saw that clients consistently wanted two things: to form new spaces and to shift the ones they were already in. What they did not want was a crowded process with fragmented communication, unclear accountability, and inflated pricing.
Formshift reflects his vision for a more modern procurement experience where strategy, sourcing, coordination, and delivery feel simple from start to finish.
EVAN MANLY
CO-FOUNDER & CFO
Evan shapes Formshift around operational clarity, financial discipline, and the belief that furniture projects should feel organized, transparent, and professionally managed.
His role keeps engagements structured, responsive, and aligned with the level of trust clients expect from a serious commercial interiors partner.
We built Formshift for clients who want fewer handoffs, clearer pricing, and a partner who can move a project forward without unnecessary friction.
One point of accountability
One lead coordinating procurement, communication, delivery, and install.
Dealer-agnostic sourcing
Solutions sourced across trusted manufacturers to fit the project, not a single line card.
Faster execution
A tighter process designed to keep projects moving from quote to completion.
Transparent pricing
Clear proposals and practical value without inflated complexity.
Formshift Group is a modern commercial furniture group providing end-to-end workplace furniture solutions for growing organizations and design partners.
Formshift operates through a dealer-agnostic procurement model. Depending on project needs, furniture may be supplied directly by Formshift or sourced through third-party manufacturers or dealerships and managed on the client’s behalf. Clients benefit from one contract, one timeline, and one point of accountability.
We specialize in furniture procurement, vendor sourcing, and project delivery. By operating without a traditional showroom and utilizing a streamlined, dealer-agnostic model, we reduce overhead while maintaining access to premium product lines and professional installation.
Our focus is execution—delivering furniture efficiently, accurately, and on schedule.
